Mark 1:14-31 ESV

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:21-22

We heard before that the synagogues were much of the nature of our parish churches, places where people ordinarily met together on the sabbath days, to worship God by prayer, and reading the law and the prophets, and hearing the words of exhortation, from such as the rulers of the synagogues appointed thereunto. Christ ordinarily preached in them. The evangelists often mention the people’s admiring, being amazed, and astonished at his doctrine; but it is one thing for people to be astonished... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:23-24

Luke reports the same passage, Luke 4:33,Luke 4:34; he saith, There was a man which had a spirit of an unclean devil. The devil is called an unclean spirit in opposition to the Spirit of God, which is the Holy Spirit. The man that had this unclean spirit, or rather the unclean spirit in the man, cries out, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee. He doubtless feared what followed, viz. that he should be cast out. He counts himself destroyed when he cannot do mischief; like wicked men, who... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:25-26

It is both here and in many other places observable, that when the devils made a confession of Christ, yet neither Christ nor his apostles would ever take any notice of it. Truth is never advantaged from the confession of known liars, as the devil was from the beginning. Christ needed not the devil’s testimony, either to his holiness, or his being the Son of God, nor would he have people allow the least faith to the devil’s words. Nor was he to be imposed upon by the devil’s good words; he was... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:27

The Jews had exorcists amongst them, who sometimes cast out devils by some forms of invocation they had; but Christ commanded them out; he neither did it by any kind of entreaty from any compact with the devil, nor yet by any invocation of God, but by an authoritative command. This was new to the Jews, and especially confirming a new doctrine that he had published. But still we read of no believing, no agnation of him as God, or the Son of God, or the Messias and Saviour of the world; only the... read more

The fame of his miracles, rather than of his doctrine; by this means many were brought to him to be cured, many were brought also to hear him, some of whom believed, others were hardened. read more

See Poole on "Matthew 8:14-15", where we met with this history. Our Saviour sometimes showed his power in diseases not accounted incurable. The miracle appeared, 1. In the cure of her without the use of any means. 2. In the instantaneousness of the act; she did not recover gradually, but in a moment, and to such a degree as she could minister unto them, suppose at dinner or supper, &c. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 1:14-20

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 1:14. John was put in prison.—Delivered up. Same word used of our Lord’s betrayal by Judas. “Such honour have all His saints.” Jesus came into Galilee.—From Jerusalem, where He had been teaching most of the time since His baptism (John 2:13 to John 4:3).Mark 1:15. Repent ye, and believe.—We have an echo of this Divine keynote in the first sermon preached by Peter at Pentecost (Acts 2:38).Mark 1:16. As He walked.—As He was passing along by the seashore towards... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 1:21-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 1:21. Capernaum was at that time a flourishing commercial town on north-western shore of lake. A customs station, with military quarters. Its synagogue was the gift of a centurion (Luke 7:5). Here Jesus healed Simon’s wife’s mother, the centurion’s servant, and a paralytic; called Levi from the toll-house; and discoursed on humility, and on the bread of life.Mark 1:22. Not as the scribes.—They could only insist on the observance of petty rules invented by men... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 1:1-45

Mark 1:0 The Cure of Simon's Wife's Mother. Pain, sickness, delirium, madness, as great infringements of the laws of nature as the miracles themselves, are such veritable presences to the human experience that what bears no relation to their existence cannot be the God of the human race. And the man who cannot find his God in the fog of suffering, no less than he who forgets his God in the sunshine of health, has learned little either of St. Paul or St. John. I. All suffering is against the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 1:9-15

Mark 1:9-15 I. John's dispensation was thus shown to be of Divine appointment. Notice the beauty of John's work in relation both to the past and to the future. It was a baptism unto repentance a baptism, and so connected with the ceremonial past; a baptism unto repentance, and so introductory to a new and more intensely spiritual state of things. II. But why should Jesus Christ identify Himself with a baptism which was unto repentance? His identification with that baptism was not for the... read more
